Homestead Tax Refund - when?

Hi Kansas people,

This is the first time I've filed my Homestead Tax Return (first year of five of no property taxes for moving to Kansas via Dept of Commerce.)

I filed in February.

I used the State of Kansas filing site for my state taxes and I have the dashboard set up with me and my llc.

It just says pending processing.

How long does it usually take? It's been 60 days now.

Here's another thing my doctor did not mention about post-hysterectomy and weight loss

"1. The Post-Hysterectomy Hormonal Shift

A hysterectomy—even if your ovaries were kept—temporarily or permanently disrupts your pelvic blood flow and ovarian function.

  • The Estrogen Drop: This disruption often triggers a sudden drop in estrogen. Low estrogen forces the body to aggressively hold onto visceral fat and slows down your resting metabolism.
  • The Cortisol Spike: Your body is still technically in a major post-surgical healing window at five months. Chronic healing creates internal stress, elevating cortisol levels. Cortisol actively causes fluid retention and temporarily blunts the fat-burning effects of GLP-1 medications like Wegovy."

I've been struggling as I have PCOS now PMOD AND the hysterectomy, then going back to Wegovy pills over injections and them just not working hardly at all. I've been angry and hungry and then angry again. I've had temper moments. Agonies. Mood shifts.

And my doctors didn't say a darn thing about it including my Dr. who is gently tsking over my lack of weight loss as I climb the doses.

Honestly, maybe they should give us hormones right out the gate if our ovaries are going to freak out? Like warn us there will be a recalibration here? I've been beating myself up, because I am more active with the mass gone, I am doing more energetic things, and my weight is going nowhere.

So I'm going to redo everything again with my doc and show her this?

Aldi Garden "Soil" is just mulched bark entirely

My frustration is limitless. Got down to Sunday gardening and opened this! No planting tree seedling today. :C

It's all just red colored chopped bark. If it's cedar or spruce that will kill all my plants and beds IF id dumped it without noticing!

No soil at all.

Escaping Caregiving a Parent - need older GenX advice

Simple question: My 75 year old mom made terrible choices that led to giving all her money to her newly ex husband and I let her move in with me after not havin a relationship for 25 plus years.

I am 1 good job interview from skipping town and making sure my family never finds me again. I hate this. How do I get out of this!?

(Bg: I am 53 neurodiverse and intelligent with a medical diagnosis. I have a treatment plan. And I'm recovering from a terrible blood condition, but in the upswing. I share many traits with people on the spectrum where I reach a threshold of frustration or fear then I am not the nicest person to people in my sphere. I hate being triggered.

I witnessed my grandma lose 30 years of her freedom and life taking care of great grandma. I do not want. I do not want a roommate. I cannot be a future medical level caregiver. I thought she'd be gone by now.

So as ThE Only stable person in my family and no personal kids I feel everyone thinks it defaults to me the dutiful daughter. Moms siblings are wealthy and I want out.)
